Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1973: Chapter 2017: Nine-Day Giant Emperor Takes Action (Part 1)

The Central Earth Army was silent.

Twenty-two Sages faced twenty-four Emperor Levels and Inferior Sages.

One hundred and ninety Divinity Transformation Realm experts faced over two hundred and eighty Giant Kings and Asura Kings.

An advantage that was supposed to crush suddenly turned into a disadvantage.

At this moment, they were no longer angry at the Phoenix Dynasty Great Sage, but rather felt an indescribable oppression.

Taicang State Great Wine Sacrifice took a deep breath, his voice deep and powerful:

”We are Central Earth’s last force. If we all die fighting, there will be no one left to protect the beings of Central Earth.”

”Anyone who wants to retreat, go back to Central Earth.”

”No one will blame you!”

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a stir within the Central Earth Army!

Many were shaken.

Fear of death is a living creature’s instinct, unrelated to virtue.

But, there were also those who were as steadfast as before.

An unnamed loose cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm, carrying a bundle of spirit tablets, slowly walked forward.

He was past his sixties, his eyes weathered but calm.

Facing tens of thousands of the Central Earth Army, facing the Sages, Giant Emperors, and Asura Emperors filling the sky, he remained unfazed, speaking in a hoarse voice:

”I’m not retreating.”

”The entire forty-plus members of my Chen Family were all devoured by giants.”

”Only my old bones survived by luck.”

”I have no relatives left in the world, what meaning is there in returning to Central Earth?”

”My dying wish is to follow Starfire Venerable to the Heavenly Realm and kill giants.”

”Even if I kill just one, it counts as avenging my clan!”

”So, I’m not leaving, I just want to kill giants.”

Some recognized him.

It was the old master of the Chen Family from Big Bull Mountain in Hunyuan State, the Chen Family was a locally renowned Martial Path Family, with ancestors that once had a late-stage Nascent Soul powerhouse.

A month ago, Ancient Giants descended.

Hunyuan State couldn’t withstand the Ancient Giant assault, and the entire state was devastated by the rampage of Ancient Giants; many forces big and small were obliterated, human and beast alike consumed.

Only some families were saved by Jiang Fan leading reinforcements from Taicang State, Dan State, Divine Weapon State, and Great Wilderness State.

The Chen Family was unfortunate, they didn’t get to await Jiang Fan.

Their entire clan was eaten, even the children didn’t survive.

Only he, Ninth Layer of Core Formation, survived by chance.

But facing the bloody remnants of his clan, his heart was deadened, lacking the will to live alone.

Until news from Heavenly State arrived, Central Earth was advocating for a raid on the Heavenly Realm, he then rallied anew!

To qualify for the raid on the Heavenly Realm, he desperately cultivated.

With the support of various resources, he finally broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm not long ago.

And made it to the Heavenly Realm as desired.

Now asking him to retreat to Central Earth, how could he be willing?

Everyone was moved.

Who hadn’t suffered from the giants’ torment? Who hadn’t lost friends or family, fellow disciples?

Even an elderly man with a beard had the ambition to battle giants, what was there for them to fear?

”I won’t retreat either! My disciples are watching me from Central Earth; if I desert, I’ll be ridiculed for life!”

”I’m not retreating! I should’ve died in the last battle; it was those predecessors who sacrificed themselves, allowing me to survive. Now, I’ll follow their example and use this life to illuminate others!”

”Fight! A real man should shine while alive, and be wrapped in horsehide upon death!”

”Dying in battle at the Heavenly Realm, I would not regret even in death!”

The initially shaken army’s morale reached a boiling point, their war cries echoing heaven and earth.

Golden Scale Venerate couldn’t help but laugh heartily: ”What are we afraid of?”

”Don’t forget, Starfire Venerable is still in Central Earth!”

”With his presence, why should we fear that Central Earth’s beings are left unprotected?”

Upon hearing this, the Central Earth Army was shaken again.

Almost forgotten, Jiang Fan remained in Central Earth!

With him there, Central Earth would be more glorious than this era a thousand years later!

They had no worries, why not fight?

Jiangshan First-class Building Owner glanced disdainfully at the vast array of Giant Emperors and Asura Emperors, laughing:

”When Ancient Giants descended, they numbered twice us, yet we weren’t afraid.”

”Much less now, when you merely outnumber us slightly?”

”Twenty-two against twenty-four! The advantage is ours!”

”You are the ones to be annihilated!”

The Sages were also stirred.

During the Ancient Giant War, Central Earth was in such a disadvantage yet still achieved a miraculous victory.

In this fight, their situation had never been better.

Why fear another battle?

It’s the same facing Ancient Giants at a disadvantage.

When Ancient Giants descended in Central Earth, they were despairing.

But now, they were resolute!

Because, before arriving, they had already prepared mentally to die in the Heavenly Realm!

Either the giants perish, or they die!!!

No third option!

The Nine Nether Demon Venerable pointed remotely at the central Giant Emperor: ”Enough talk!”

”That one, is mine!”

”You handle the others!”

Central Earth’s Sages simultaneously revealed fighting intent, locking onto their targets across the vast sky.

Outer Heaven Sages, who initially intended to retreat, were deeply affected by the atmosphere of the Central Earth Army, also renewing their resolve to fight, releasing strong auras.

The entire Central Earth Army, after encountering the crisis when the Phoenix Dynasty Great Sage was trapped, quickly rebounded.

Instead of weakening, their momentum exploded with stronger willpower amid the desperate situation.

This scene sent chills to the hearts of the Giant Emperors, Asura Emperors, and Inferior Sages.

What was wrong with this generation of Central Earth?

Why so tenacious?

The Central Emperor’s face turned grim. He thought the Imperial Court’s trap could slaughter most of Central Earth people.

But Jiang Fan thwarted it.

Even after experiencing such huge setbacks, Central Earth remained with surging momentum.

Now, they could only fight it out with Central Earth!

Luckily, they were the advantageous side, could they actually fear Central Earth?

The Central Emperor’s forehead bore seven curse solar wheels rotating, speaking gloomily: ”Since you seek death, then I’ll oblige!”

”Nine-Day Giant Emperor! Please strike!”

Above the sky, nine ancient suns rapidly rotated, merging into one.

With Nine-Day Giant Emperor awakening, the heavenly dome plummeted sharply.

In the blink of an eye, white clouds in the sky fell alongside everyone.

No, it wasn’t the sky falling.

But rather the space between heaven and earth compressing sharply.

When the world barriers of the ground and heavenly dome coincide, the Central Earth Army would be crushed into blood mist.

This Nine-Day Giant Emperor turned out to be a Space Giant Emperor!

That’s why its form could encompass the entire Southern Heavenly Realm!

As a Nine-Day Space Giant Emperor, it could transform into the world, ubiquitous!

”Break~”

Within nine resonant shouts, a towering giant shadow stood between heaven and earth.

It was none other than all nine Great Wine Sacrifices acting simultaneously!

They were enveloped within a giant shadow, the nine seemingly fused into one.

The giant shadow clapped its hands fiercely towards the sky, sending the descending heavenly dome flying.

Black stains were slapped out from the world.

This was the curse materialized.

Just like Law is chains, Cause and Effect is threads.

Meanwhile.

Nine suns completely merged together, a hundred-foot-tall golden giant appeared.

It was precisely the Nine-Day Giant Emperor!

Topping with an enormous head, his whole body radiating like a scorching sun, illuminating the world.

The nine curse solar wheels on his forehead emitted terrifying curse power.

The strongest existence below a Saint in the Southern Heavenly Realm, had emerged!
